Mayor’s Task Force Overview

4 storms caused major flooding: July 10, 18, 19

and Sept 2, 2012

Mayor formed Task Force in Aug 2012

Task Force report delivered end of Dec

2012

Over 25 Recommendations:

Engineering Measures • McMillan Stormwater Storage • First Street Tunnel • Northeast Boundary Tunnel

(NEBT)

Regulatory Code Changes Operations & Maintenance

NORTHEAST BOUNDARY TUNNEL PROJECT A large, deep sewer tunnel that will increase the capacity of

the sewer system to current design standards and control combined sewer overflow discharges to the Anacostia River

MCMILLAN STORMWATER STORAGE PROJECT Repurpose McMillan Sand Filtration cells as stormwater

storage In-line storage in a sewer that runs along First Street NW 3.6 million gallons. Completed

IRVING STREET GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT Construction of bioretention facilities along Irving Street NW 0.4 million gallons. Completed

FIRST STREET TUNNEL PROJECT Construction of a new tunnel under First Street NW Construction of diversion facilities to divert flows to tunnel 9 million gallons, Completion in Spring 2016

Significantly mitigate the frequency, magnitude and duration of sewer flooding and basement backups in the Northeast Boundary drainage area

Control combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges to the Anacostia River, significantly improving water quality

Minimize the nuisance and economic costs associated with flooding

Reduce risks to human health Greatly reduce the discharge of untreated

wastewater into the District’s receiving waterbodies

Prevent deterioration of historic resources from water damage caused by flooding

Northeast Boundary Tunnel Construction Phases

Construction work has been divided into two contracts: Contract Description Start End

Division U • Relocation of utilities (gas, electric, communication, water, sewer, etc.) that conflict with permanent tunnel structures

• DC Water to contract with Prime Contractor - Prime to perform water and sewer work - Prime to hire pre-approved utility subcontractors to complete

electric, communication and gas work • Typical linear trench-type utility work • Moving work areas • Maintenance of traffic is key

May 2016 Nov 2017

Division J • Construction of NEBT and diversion facilities along tunnel alignment • Stationary work areas • Maintenance of traffic is key

April 2018 2022/3

13

14

Phased Alternative Approach to Mitigate Risk and Delays

Division U Utility relocation in separate contract will clear

sites of utilities for tunnel contract Utility relocation contract will include

Unforeseen Utility Survey – trenches through work areas to find utilities not shown on plans (if any)

Additional time allowed in utility relocation contract to account for unknowns

Division J DC Water will advance design on specific

facilities to reduce lead time for construction Simplified Construction Impact Assessment

Report process (Tentative) phased design and construction

NTP: − Reduce design delays − Mitigate permitting delays − Learning curve during design phase − Coordination of temporary and permanent

design doesn’t affect schedule

Los Angeles Metro Example:

$25 M Advance Utility Relocation contract before $960 M Regional Connector Light Rail project

Many unknown/unidentified utilities encountered Utility relocation delaying project by 10 months,

cost of $51 M Transferring some utility relocations to light rail

contractor to reduce costs and save schedule

NEBT Approach:

Northeast Boundary Tunnel Schedules

Design: Maintenance of Flow Dewatering Support of Excavation Maintenance of Traffic & Signalization Plans Adits and Tunnel, shaft connections Geotechnical Instrumentation Protection of Structures

Acquire permits for construction Other submittals:

Construction Bidding Prime Contractor Responsibilities prior to Contract Award

Outreach Organize and document your outreach efforts Evaluation of bids Complete mandatory EPA Forms Submit complete package with your bid to DC Water

60

61

Construction Bidding Mandatory EPA Forms EPA form 6100-2

This form gives a DBE subcontractor the opportunity to describe the work the DBE subcontractor received from the prime contractor, how the DBE subcontractor was paid and any other concerns the subcontractor may have

EPA form 6100-3 This form captures an intended subcontractors description of work to be performed for the prime

contractor and the price of work submitted to the prime EPA form 6100-4

This form captures the prime’s intended use of an identified DBE subcontractor and the estimated dollar amount of the subcontract

All forms must be completed to include: Statement of work Estimate of work MBE/WBE Percentages MBE/WBE designation Signatures (Prime and Subcontractors, if required)

61

62

Construction Bidding Submission of Documents to DC Water

Cover Sheet Project name Fair Share Objective Prime name and address Bidding firm status Contact name and number Bid Price Price of MBE/WBE Participation

Good Faith Effort Documentation Advertisements Emails (outgoing and incoming) Faxes (cover sheets and

transmittal records) Call logs Response logs EPA Mandatory Forms Current DBE certification

62

63

Construction Bidding The Six Good Faith Efforts

1. Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities

2. Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs and arrange time frames for contracts and establish delivery schedules where the requirements permit in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process

3. Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs

4. Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually

5. Use the services of the SBA and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce

6. If the prime contractor awards subcontracts, require the prime to use Steps 1 through 5
